Chinas economic downturn has badly hit the millions of migrant workers who leave their remote villages for the industrial South. At the world's factory, competition is fierce and jobs are scarce.
"There are over 2000 people in our village. About 700 of them go to Guandong looking for jobs. The older people stay at home working the fields." In rural China, the young leave their homes in droves to find better paid jobs in the city. Like millions of others, Xiong Yan is desperate to find work, so that she can help provide for her family. "My family is poor. Usually I'll send them my salary."
At the overcrowded employment agency, dozens anxiously wait to get an appointment. "They're left with no social security, healthcare, or education rights in the city. Salaries are very low." Dr Kaimings NGO specialises in the rights of migrant workers. He believes they have been exploited by employers with the blessing of a government that had its eyes set on economic growth at any cost. "The biggest threat is that unemployed migrant workers may start to protest against the government" says Dr Kaiming. Discontent is growing but migrants in search of work keep flooding in. Although new labour laws were introduced, the economic climate means job seekers will have to accept lower wages and worse conditions.

A knife-wielding man attacked a kindergarten class of 4-year-olds in eastern China, slashing 28 children in what an expert said was a copycat rampage of two other episodes at Chinese schools in the past month.
A 47-year-old jobless man, Xu Yuyuan, burst into a classroom at the kindergarten, waving an eight-inch (20-centimetre) knife and stabbing a security guard who tried to stop him.
Although exact details regarding the attack were scarce, it is believed five students were in critical condition and two teachers and the security guard were injured. Many family members faced an agonising wait until news of their own children's welfare was released.
"I don't know what I can do because the hospital cannot give me any accurate information about my grandson. I hope he can make it, but the hospital refuses to tell me whether he's out of life-threatening danger. They don't want us to know the truth."
A crowd gathered outside the kindergarten and in the hospital where some of the children were being treated.
An eyewitness to the attack, who owns a restaurant next door to the kindergarten, said the scene he found was "too horrible to imagine."
"I saw blood everywhere, and kids bleeding from their heads. Some of them could not open their eyes because of the blood, it was very horrible,"
A series of school attacks in China in recent years have mostly been blamed on people with personal grudges or suffering from mental illness, leading to calls for improved security.
China's inadequate mental health network has left millions of unstable people without the help they need.
Many otherwise healthy Chinese also feel frustrated and powerless because they aren't able to adapt to the constant social upheaval in their society and because they believe the changes in their world favour the corrupt.
That kind of anger has occasionally erupted in mass violence and in isolated attacks.
It is not known why schools are targeted.

WONG:
Rural migrant workers are now returning to their jobs after the New Year celebrations. But millions arrive in Beijing for the first time, hoping to find a job. We bring you their story.
STORY:
Sun Xiaoliang is one of the millions of migrant workers who come to Beijing hoping to find a job.
He is from Anhui Province in eastern China, one of the poorest in the country.
He left his family back home, soon after the Chinese New Year celebrations, hoping to get a better chance at finding work in Beijing.
Sun shares his small room that has no heat nor running water.
[Sun Xiaoliang, Job Seeker]:
"It is very difficult to find a job. When there is not much farm work to do, I usually go out and do some migrant work to support my family. But it is much more difficult to find a job and make money nowadays than before."
Early mornings, Sun heads for an illegal job market, since official job markets charge around 30 U.S. dollars for access, but with no job guarantee.
Sun joins hundreds of other job seekers. Most of them wait all day for a potential employer to turn up.
This is the daily story of about 20 million Chinese rural migrant workers.
Thousands of factories in the Pearl River Delta have closed since export orders have slowed down.
Liu Xianjiu has lost his job in Guandong Province just before the Chinese New Year. So he has now turned up with his family in Beijing in the hope of finding a job in the capital.
[Liu Xianjiu, Job Seeker]:
"There are not many factories left open in Guangzhou any more. We couldn't find work there, so we came to Beijing to try our luck."
Factory closures in Guandong Province sparked workers' protests and bitter confrontations last year.

Jobless-Discrimination Law In New YorkCity Is AdoptedNEW YORK -- New York City will soon have the nation's most far-reaching laws barring employers from shunning out-of-work job applicants, after lawmakers passed the provisions Wednesday over a mayoral veto. When the law takes effect in three months, the city will be the fourth place in the country with some form of legislation against discriminating against unemployed job-seekers.

After graduation we all expect a good life with a blue collar job waiting for us, but it's never as we expect. The world out there is more challenging and demanding leading many to frustration and destruction. How does the reality of life impact you.

Situated on one of the world's largest natural harbors, New York City consists of five boroughs, each of which is a separate county of New York State. The five boroughs – Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island – were consolidated into a single city in 1898. With a census-estimated 2014 population of 8,491,079 distributed over a land area of just 305 square miles (790km2), New York is the most densely populated major city in the United States. As many as 800 languages are spoken in New York, making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world. By 2014 census estimates, the New York City metropolitan region remains by a significant margin the most populous in the United States, as defined by both the Metropolitan Statistical Area (20.1million residents) and the Combined Statistical Area (23.6million residents). In 2013, the MSA produced a gross metropolitan product (GMP) of nearly US$1.39trillion, while in 2012, the CSA generated a GMP of over US$1.55trillion, both ranking first nationally by a wide margin and behind the GDP of only twelve and eleven countries, respectively.

New York City (band)

New York City was an AmericanR&Bvocal group. They formed in 1972 under the name "Tri-Boro Exchange", and all of the group's members had had significant experience singing in other vocal and doo-wop ensembles. They are also from New York City.

Federal Reserve System

The Federal Reserve System‍—‌also known as the Federal Reserve or simply as the Fed‍—‌is the central banking system of the United States. It was created on December 23, 1913, with the enactment of the Federal Reserve Act, largely in response to a series of financial panics, particularly a severe panic in 1907. Over time, the roles and responsibilities of the Federal Reserve System have expanded, and its structure has evolved. Events such as the Great Depression in the 1930s were major factors leading to changes in the system.

The U.S. Congress established three key objectives for monetary policy in the Federal Reserve Act: maximizing employment, stabilizing prices, and moderating long-term interest rates. The first two objectives are sometimes referred to as the Federal Reserve's dual mandate. Its duties have expanded over the years, and as of 2009 also include supervising and regulating banks, maintaining the stability of the financial system and providing financial services to depository institutions, the U.S. government, and foreign official institutions. The Fed conducts research into the economy and releases numerous publications, such as the Beige Book.

Chinas economic downturn has badly hit the millions of migrant workers who leave their remote villages for the industrial South. At the world's factory, competition is fierce and jobs are scarce.
"There are over 2000 people in our village. About 700 of them go to Guandong looking for jobs. The older people stay at home working the fields." In rural China, the young leave their homes in droves to find better paid jobs in the city. Like millions of others, Xiong Yan is desperate to find work, so that she can help provide for her family. "My family is poor. Usually I'll send them my salary."
At the overcrowded employment agency, dozens anxiously wait to get an appointment. "They're left with no social security, healthcare, or education rights in the city. Salaries are very low." Dr Kaimings NGO specialises in the rights of migrant workers. He believes they have been exploited by employers with the blessing of a government that had its eyes set on economic growth at any cost. "The biggest threat is that unemployed migrant workers may start to protest against the government" says Dr Kaiming. Discontent is growing but migrants in search of work keep flooding in. Although new labour laws were introduced, the economic climate means job seekers will have to accept lower wages and worse conditions.

A knife-wielding man attacked a kindergarten class of 4-year-olds in eastern China, slashing 28 children in what an expert said was a copycat rampage of two other episodes at Chinese schools in the past month.
A 47-year-old jobless man, Xu Yuyuan, burst into a classroom at the kindergarten, waving an eight-inch (20-centimetre) knife and stabbing a security guard who tried to stop him.
Although exact details regarding the attack were scarce, it is believed five students were in critical condition and two teachers and the security guard were injured. Many family members faced an agonising wait until news of their own children's welfare was released.
"I don't know what I can do because the hospital cannot give me any accurate information about my grandson. I hope he can make it, but the hospital refuses to tell me whether he's out of life-threatening danger. They don't want us to know the truth."
A crowd gathered outside the kindergarten and in the hospital where some of the children were being treated.
An eyewitness to the attack, who owns a restaurant next door to the kindergarten, said the scene he found was "too horrible to imagine."
"I saw blood everywhere, and kids bleeding from their heads. Some of them could not open their eyes because of the blood, it was very horrible,"
A series of school attacks in China in recent years have mostly been blamed on people with personal grudges or suffering from mental illness, leading to calls for improved security.
China's inadequate mental health network has left millions of unstable people without the help they need.
Many otherwise healthy Chinese also feel frustrated and powerless because they aren't able to adapt to the constant social upheaval in their society and because they believe the changes in their world favour the corrupt.
That kind of anger has occasionally erupted in mass violence and in isolated attacks.
It is not known why schools are targeted.

WONG:
Rural migrant workers are now returning to their jobs after the New Year celebrations. But millions arrive in Beijing for the first time, hoping to find a job. We bring you their story.
STORY:
Sun Xiaoliang is one of the millions of migrant workers who come to Beijing hoping to find a job.
He is from Anhui Province in eastern China, one of the poorest in the country.
He left his family back home, soon after the Chinese New Year celebrations, hoping to get a better chance at finding work in Beijing.
Sun shares his small room that has no heat nor running water.
[Sun Xiaoliang, Job Seeker]:
"It is very difficult to find a job. When there is not much farm work to do, I usually go out and do some migrant work to support my family. But it is much more difficult to find a job and make money nowadays than before."
Early mornings, Sun heads for an illegal job market, since official job markets charge around 30 U.S. dollars for access, but with no job guarantee.
Sun joins hundreds of other job seekers. Most of them wait all day for a potential employer to turn up.
This is the daily story of about 20 million Chinese rural migrant workers.
Thousands of factories in the Pearl River Delta have closed since export orders have slowed down.
Liu Xianjiu has lost his job in Guandong Province just before the Chinese New Year. So he has now turned up with his family in Beijing in the hope of finding a job in the capital.
[Liu Xianjiu, Job Seeker]:
"There are not many factories left open in Guangzhou any more. We couldn't find work there, so we came to Beijing to try our luck."
Factory closures in Guandong Province sparked workers' protests and bitter confrontations last year.

Jobless-Discrimination Law In New YorkCity Is AdoptedNEW YORK -- New York City will soon have the nation's most far-reaching laws barring employers from shunning out-of-work job applicants, after lawmakers passed the provisions Wednesday over a mayoral veto. When the law takes effect in three months, the city will be the fourth place in the country with some form of legislation against discriminating against unemployed job-seekers.

28 school children slashed in China as jobless man goes on rampage

A knife-wielding man attacked a kindergarten class of 4-year-olds in eastern China, slashing 28 children in what an expert said was a copycat rampage of two other episodes at Chinese schools in the past month.

Although exact details regarding the attack were scarce, it is believed five students were in critical condition and two teachers and the security guard were injured. Many family members faced an agonising wait until news of their own children's welfare was released.

Situated on one of the world's largest natural harbors, New York City consists of five boroughs, each of which is a separate county of New York State. The five boroughs – Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island – were consolidated into a single city in 1898. With a census-estimated 2014 population of 8,491,079 distributed over a land area of just 305 square miles (790km2), New York is the most densely populated major city in the United States. As many as 800 languages are spoken in New York, making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world. By 2014 census estimates, the New York City metropolitan region remains by a significant margin the most populous in the United States, as defined by both the Metropolitan Statistical Area (20.1million residents) and the Combined Statistical Area (23.6million residents). In 2013, the MSA produced a gross metropolitan product (GMP) of nearly US$1.39trillion, while in 2012, the CSA generated a GMP of over US$1.55trillion, both ranking first nationally by a wide margin and behind the GDP of only twelve and eleven countries, respectively.
